SCROG Do I Continue To Tuck?

[nz_grower]

Hey boys

I've been flowering for two weeks I stopped tucking on the 12th day and I think I've filled up 3/4 of the screen but there are still some branches that I feel need to be tucked as they are far taller then the rest but not sure quite what to do. Ps this is my first scrog

Thanks for your time guys

Tuck the branches until they stop stretching. You can still adjust them after that, but you have to be careful not to snap anything. At some point the buds will be too big to move and everything will be set in its permanent place.

Ok thanks for that mate

is it all good to go past having it filled 3/4?

Yeah, you're wasting space by not doing so. You're supposed to only fill 3/4's of the screen before you flip. It's so that you have enough room for the stretch. After the stretch you want the whole thing filled.

I ran my first whole scrog last grow.

I tucked until day 8 or 9 of 12/12.

I initially filled approx 60% of my screen and wished I’d gone longer and allowed some stretch up out of the screen.

My scrog was only 8” high and I use a 400w HPS I could have allowed them to grow vertical more.

don’t get me wrong it was one of my best looking and uniform grows but as I said the scrog could have been up to 18” tall off the screen and my light would have had a decent spread.

Is there a chance the buds are too big to move at the moment? as the branches were real reluctant to move and they were a lot more sensitive then usual. I actually snapped a branch when I was tucking today even though I was at least trying to be diligent

I snapped a few during the grow.

it happens.

if you think a branch is going to snap you can supercrop where you need it to bend and then zip tie it or string it to the scrog in position.

the supercrop area will develop a knuckle and strengthen back up.
